Chenen Republic wants to pass a law that would execute those who break quarantine.

It is not law yet at this point but could be law soon.

Quote:
Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of the Russian Chechen Republic, said anyone who has been ordered to stay in quarantine but “breaches that order and infects other people, should be punished with death!” Chechen news outlet Kavkaz Uzel reported.

“If you ask me, anyone who creates this problem for himself should be killed,” it quotes Kadyrov as saying after a government meeting held on Tuesday, when the first three COVID-19 cases were reported in Chechnya.

“Not only does he get sick, but he also infects his family, his sisters, brothers, neighbors.”

Kavkaz Uzel reported the disease was imported from Turkey and Saudi Arabia, where one of the infected had recently visited on the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. After his return he didn’t comply with the quarantine order.

Kadyrov also said people who spread fake news about the coronavirus should be punished with “community service.”

Earlier this month, before the first cases occurred in his state, he told BBC Russia people should protect themselves by improving their immune system, drinking honey lemonade and eating lots of garlic to purify blood.

Chechnya has also taken more mainstream measures to contain the pandemic, including closing restaurants, cafes, and other “crowded public places” in the Russian republic.

The number of confirmed cases in Russia has spiked to 1,036 in recent days, though experts say the true total is likely much higher.

There has been a moratorium on the death penalty in Russia since 1999 and no one has been officially executed there since 1996, according to the International Federation for Human Rights.

Chechenya is a flyspeck sized enclave of Islam in the nonMuslim Russian Republic.

Maybe they have a bigger Corvid 19 problem than the rest of Russia because of pilgrims returning from Mecca. But I had the impression that the Saudies had temporarily shut down the whole pilgrimage to Mecca thing because of the epidemic.

Russia officially only has a 1000 cases, but we don't really know. It could be more.

What is it with that Kadyrov guy? He issued a "shoot-to-kill" order for the LGBT community in Chechnya a while back. He's worse than Duterte.
